Server like this ?
 


This would really be a good server...
All it would really need is:
Lobby
Rooms
Center.

What do you think?

That is Downsider's work. It's written in GS1 and I don't think he's interested enough right now to port it to GS2. It is only simple raycasting and trying to do anything besides walls in 3D with it would get difficult fast (and it would run pretty slow).

Either way, Graal has already tried 3D once and failed. I think we should stick with our 2D forte. :)

Mode7 would be a Godsend.

Yes, yes it would. But it'd probably end up like the flying technology... :cry:

Zexon 02-09-2011 06:42 AM

It would really be a fun shooter (Doom 2 type as said in title) type game.
It would take skills , and there haven't been a game that took skills since Zone.

It's more about the technical limitations and the fact that a lot of 3D games like this already exist that make the idea hard to realize.

I wanted to emulate the map system from Link to the Past. I tried using polygons but the method Stefan uses caused it to crease down the center where the polygon was divided, skewing the texture on both sides :(

Honestly, people say this all the time. "OMG DOOM WAS SO FUN IT'D BE GREAT ON GRAAL!" But Doom and Quake are some of the most ported games EVER. It's typically the first porting project anyone undertakes. And you know what happens? People enjoy the nostalgia for a few minutes before realizing how horribly outdated the mechanics are and playing a more modern game.

And thats what happens when you try to revive a graal server XD

Is this script available somewhere?
For me it looks cool, even if it would be just a mini game

There is a "3d" mario kart level on n-pulse that is kinda cool

Yeah, Kartrace.

That event had a similar system I believe to Era's cars. Up Accelerated, Left n right turned and down decelerated. The tracks had simple powerups as well.

Yup. I got a nifty piece of code (Downsider, too; he's so awesome <3) that emulates some mode7-like stuff. Basically, it projects the current level on your screen in a Terranigma underworld kind of way, somewhat bended. Not at all efficient, though, and only GS1. I don't think I'm allowed to release this anyway.

Cubical 02-09-2011 07:46 PM

Shadowblaze made a first person shooter for N-Pulse a few years ago.

If I knew how to script or even run a server xD , I would most definitely make this server.

I would need to learn more about scripting and stuff tho.

He did? The only games I remember him making was Snake and a few other flash game like mini-games.

Pretty sure that video is Rage's stuff.

Downsider did one VERY similar:

Fulg0reSama 02-10-2011 04:32 AM

If downsider had created baddies, then it'd be up to par with Rages considering they're like two of the same :p

Zexon 02-10-2011 04:51 AM

I like both of them
Downsider's is kinda how I would picture it but with more custom maps or even some maps from Doom II , and Graal Sprites like Rage's.

I like Wolfenstein but the speed on that game is just horrible.

Downsider's with a faster paste, more weapons and maps.
Is my dream.

If rage still plays , or downsider could this server happen?

Downsider: Globalled
RageVI: You won't get his attention to do it.

Ask the globals, I know why but I don't feel like going into it :whatever:

Zexon 02-10-2011 05:15 AM

Ok, well can we discuss this over PM's I have some questions about making this still.

Oh, whoops, you're right. In my defense that video was posted in Downsider's thread. :P


But yeah, I stand by what I said that this probably will be too complicated for not much reward. Worth a shot if you have the technical expertise but otherwise not really.
